Chapter 24: Hour Zero
While T.K and the others were stuck in a dark and twisted future, the remaining Digi-destined remained living their lives as they normally would. All of the foreign Digi-Destined had gone to Japan to prepare for day fourteen which was scheduled to start soon. While most of the Digi-Destined said their good-byes to friends and family one was roaming the street. The road was barely lit, however it was raining. The brown haired Digi-destined came to a stop and looked forward. He was a lost foreigner roaming a deserted street two hours before midnight. Axel had also read up recently that major political parties from each country were staying in the area, if they were killed day fourteen would become a major issue and knowing what humans were like would lead to war. He had worked out that everyone from Wire's universe was fake they were just clones of the originals with Wire's twisted imprint in their DNA.
"Where the hell am I? This fog is so hard to navigate through, maybe I should've listened to Wizardmon when he said about staying inside." Axel said out loud to himself. He continued to walk around. Just then he heard the sound of a garbage can being knocked onto the floor and rolling. Axel quickly followed where he heard the sound.
"How did we end up here? You young douche bag?" A voice asked, it had a dark tone to it. Axel found where the noise came from. He saw three figures standing there, one of them looked like a small lizard while the other two looked like people.
"I don't know you futuristic moron!" The other voice shouted, the voice seemed oddly familiar. Axel had heard this voice several times before. Axel walked towards the two of them.
"Who are you two? Don't try anything funny 'cause I'll shoot if I have too." Axel stated as he pulled a gun out of his pocket. Axel had carried that gun throughout his Digimon adventure.
"Nice gun brat, however you shouldn't play with fire arms!" The unfamiliar voice taunted. Before Axel could determine which one of the people taunted him one of the figures ran at him and knocked him onto the ground, he turned around to see the figure had disappeared.
"Who the hell was that?" Axel asked. He pulled himself up and turned around. The other two figures were standing right in front of him. Axel put his gun back in his pocket.
"Who are you? How stupid enough do you have to be to intervene in a fight that you know nothing about?" The figure asked. Axel put his hand behind his head.
"I'm bored and well I thought I could've broken up the fight if there was one. Who was that?" Axel answered back and then asked. He wasn't aware of who that could be. The figure seemed so evil, so out of place, it could've been anyone but determining it now would be impossible since he ran away.
"His name is Axel he is the crest holder of pro-..." Before the figure could finish his sentence Axel had already pulled out his gun and was aiming it at the figure.
"I'm the crest holder of protection! Don't insult me! Whoever that was, was a faker!" Axel shouted at the figure.
"Axel? Out of all the people it had to be you. Hang on... He's gone looking for you but he just pushed you out of the way without noticing it was you." The figure said as it looked down at the other figure. His hand was moving around as if he was trying to work something out.
"I'm so confused. Who are you?" Axel asked, he seemed confused, the taller figure then looked down at the smaller figure and nodded his head. Soon there was a small ball of fire clearing the fog around them briefly. Axel looked to see Tai and Agumon standing there.
"Ah it's the younger Axel. Boy have you missed something." Tai said as he caught a glimpse of Axel.
"You've been missing for a couple of days, what the hell happened to you after you were shocked by Hunter?" Axel asked. Tai put his hand behind his head and sighed. No matter how he said the following sentence it was going to make him sound insane.
"Me and the other four who went missing went to the future. We saw a dark future where the world was nearly destroyed. We met several of our future friends, we met the insane future you. But don't worry we'll ensure you don't go insane." Tai quickly said. He felt really embarrassed saying it. But before Axel could reply they heard a woman's scream. The group of three ran out to the main street. Tai looked on the road to see that there was a wheelchair on its side, he turned his gaze slightly to see that there was a body on the floor.
"Tai what are you looking at?" Agumon asked. But before Agumon got an answer Tai had walked into the road and picked up the body. Axel and Agumon quickly ran across and got the wheelchair in order.
"Thank you for that, do you three want to come in for a cup of coffee?" The voice asked. Her voice sounded gentle. Tai looked at the figures of the other two and saw that they were nodding. The three then followed her as she lead them into her apartment.
The inside of the apartment seemed like a normal apartment, it wasn't fitted for someone who couldn't move their legs. Tai looked at the girl who let them into her apartment. She had long blonde hair which had been pony tailed and light blue eyes. Agumon and Axel were both sat at the table playing cards. Which was odd considering neither Axel nor Agumon actually knew how to play a proper game of cards.
"So what happened outside? How come you were on the ground?" Tai asked her. She looked at him confused.
"I can't remember... All I can remember was that there was a figure pushing me off of it. I saw another figure across the road running away from an ally way. Then you three came along and picked me up." The woman said. She looked up at Tai with a smile on her face. "Thank you so much for saving me. You seem familiar have I met you before?" The girl asked.
"You might have gone to school with me, my name is Tai by the way." Tai said. She looked back and smiled at him, it was as if she knew him.
"I used to have a crush on. You were always with girls though so I never got my chance really." The girl told him with a blush on her face. "My name is Naomi. I used to be in your chemistry class." The girl continued to tell him.
"Naomi? That's a cute name." Tai said to her with a smile on his face. Axel took a look at the clock and noticed that it was eleven.
"Tai we have reached day fourteen, surely we should look for my future self before he causes any harm to anyone. Even though it's zero hour I think that's it's all going to kick off." Axel suggested to Tai as he put the cards down onto the table. Tai looked at Axel and nodded in agreement.
"I suppose, Naomi will you still be here in a couple of hours? If you are I promise I'll come straight back so that we can catch up." Tai said with a smile on his face. Naomi looked back at him blushing, she also had a smile on her face.
"That would be nice Tai. But could you come in the morning?" She asked. With that Tai, Axel and Agumon ran back outside. The fog had cleared. The street was empty. Axel poked Tai's back to grab his attention.
"Tai should we talk to Izzy? Surely we can devise a strong plan then." Axel suggested. Tai nodded in agreement to Axel's suggestion.
"Though on the way there you'll need to contact Ian and tell him everything that has happened." Tai instructed as the group of three started to walk back to Tai and Izzy's apartment.
"You two might as well stop there, otherwise I'll shoot." A metallic voice said from behind them. The three of them stopped and turned around. Someone in metal armour was standing there. Axel knew who it was.
"Saint why are you here?" Axel asked. Saint started to laugh and then came to a stop.
"Like I'm going to tell you!" Saint shouted at them. The three of them prepared for a battle between an old enemy.
Izzy and Mimi were sat in front of the television watching one of Mimi's romance films. Tentomon and Palmon were also watching it with them. While Mimi and Palmon took the film seriously Izzy and Tentomon made sarcastic remarks throughout the whole film. Once the film reached the credits Mimi looked over at Izzy and Tentomon who for some reason were in hysterics.
"Will you two be quiet that was an amazing film. Every girl wishes for that kind of thing to happen to them." Mimi said as she tried to shut the two of them up.
"Sorry Mimi, it's just that film was so bad. The characters had no to very little character development and the worst part is the plot didn't make sense, I mean why would you propose to someone with a golden tray? It was just silly really." Izzy commented. Mimi crossed her arms and looked away.
"Admit it was a good film otherwise I won't talk to you for two weeks." Mimi said in a harsh tone. Izzy knew not to annoy Mimi when she was in this type of mood. Izzy looked at her with a smile.
"Granted all of those aspects of the film didn't make it brilliant, I still feel that it was an alright film. I mean it wasn't the worst film I've ever seen. Hell I had to sit through Tai's homemade movie." Izzy said in an apologetic tone. Mimi looked back at him with a smile and then kissed his forehead.
"I love getting you to say things." Mimi said in a sarcastic tone. Just then one of the doors in the apartment opened. Izzy and Mimi looked back to see Gomamon walking out of there.
"Is that horrible movie finished yet?" Gomamon asked as he walked over to Izzy and Mimi.
"It wasn't a horrible movie, it was a good movie." Izzy said looking down at Gomamon. Gomamon looked up confused at Izzy.
"Izzy has a brick hit you in the back of the head recently? How can you call that a good movie? All I heard was a man shouting at a woman the whole time. Joe somehow slept through it. He's been working overtime at the hospital y'know, so we can afford to keep this place. You guys have just spent days searching for the other five. Or you've been in your case Izzy watching the political debates between each country." Gomamon complained at Mimi and Izzy. Mimi pouted back at Gomamon.
"Oh well, look we've been looking for them none stop, day fourteen is about to start and there is still no sign of them. We can't handle it without them, Piedmon apparently said that the girl with the baby will be tested, if she isn't here then they can't test her can they?" Mimi said in an analytical way.
"Looks like dating the super nerd paid off." Gomamon muttered to himself as he walked off to the kitchen. Joe then walked out of his room, he was dressed for work. He had spent about seventeen hours of day in the hospital. Izzy looked back at him.
"You can't be going back to work again Joe? Surely we have enough money to pay the rent." Izzy said as Joe started to look for his house keys.
"Well you'd think, however we haven't I looked at our budget last night, we have barely enough for the electricity let alone anything else. Where are my stupid keys!" Joe suddenly burst into rage. Izzy knew Joe was finding it hard to work all of this overtime, he hadn't spent as much time with Izumi as other people had with their significant others. Maybe Joe was feeling lonely.
"Calm down Joe, I'll help you find them." Izzy said as he got up. The two of them then started to roam around the apartment looking for these keys. A few minutes later there was a knock at the door. Everyone in the apartment found this odd because people don't usually knock on people at midnight. Izzy walked up to the door and opened it.
"Hello?" Izzy asked as he opened the door, he thought it may have been someone playing a childish prank on them. However a blonde haired man was standing there. He had a gun perched in his hand. Izzy recognized who it was. It was none other than Hunter. Hunter smiled back at him with an evil grin.
"How do you do?" Hunter asked the grin on his face growing bigger.
Kurai was looking down from atop one of the buildings she had grown familiar to during her life. She has never been strong in crowds and found it hard to trust people. She had a crush on Tai for as long as she could remember. Unlike most of the other Digi-destined she wasn't being hunted by anyone. It was almost as if she couldn't be seen by radars. Her closest friend was her Digimon BlackGatomon. Kurai liked the spot on the roof because it meant she could overlook everything that was happening.
"Kurai are you ok?" A voice asked. Kurai turned around to see Yolei standing there. Hawkmon was by her side.
"Yeah I'm fine..." Kurai said. She sounded so confused. Yolei wasn't sure if she was telling the truth or not. Kurai didn't exactly open up well to the group. They knew very little about her. Yolei gave her a reassuring smile.
"You can trust me Kurai. Maybe I can give you some advice." Yolei said to her. Kurai looked down at BlackGatomon and then just looked away into the distance. Yolei started to get annoyed however Hawkmon stepped in before anything kicked off between the two of them.
"Look Yolei maybe she is just in a situation where she doesn't want to talk to anyone." Hawkmon suggested trying to calm Yolei down.
"Hawkmon I know Kurai doesn't trust us, we need to welcome her in!" Yolei shouted at Hawkmon. Kurai turned around and looked at Yolei, she wasn't smiling, in fact it seemed like she was depressed. Yolei walked towards her. "Me and Davis were worried about you. In fact he suggested I came and spoke to you." Yolei told Kurai. The floor started to vibrate, it was as if someone was playing loud music down below.
"Don't take this the wrong way but I only trust one person in our group. He doesn't even know I exist. If I had his trait I would ask him out but I can't! Tell me is there something I can do about that! Or are you going to be like everyone else!" Kurai shouted at Yolei as she walked towards her.
"Why are you so angry?" Yolei asked. She had never seen Kurai like this before in the past. Kurai had always been quiet. Yolei could only assume that Kurai had bottled up all of these emotions for years. Yolei then heard a racket from behind her. She slowly turned around and saw the concrete part of the building she had come out from. The door was heavily vibrating. "What's going on over there?" Yolei asked as she walked towards. Before she reached the door it broke off of its hinges and scrapped across the floor. With the door a half knocked out Davis and Veemon came flying out as well.
"One down two to go..." A voice said. Yolei and Kurai both looked at the door. "You may have killed me once but I was reborn and I was offered a place in his army. I'm the puppet master." A voice sinfully sung. A digimon then walked through the door. "I'm going to have fun with this!" The Digimon said he was holding a metal hammer. Yolei then realised that it was none other than Puppetmon.
"I thought we killed you!" Yolei shouted at him. Hawkmon stood in front of Yolei ready to protect her from the evil Digimon.
"You can't kill a Digimon because we always come back. You can't ever kill the puppet master!" Puppetmon taunted at the group. He then pulled out his hammer and spun it vertically for a couple of seconds. "Which of you brats is next?" Puppetmon asked.
Cody, Ken, Ian, Catherine and Lucas were all sitting at a bar in the town. All of their Digimon were outside waiting. They'd agreed that they were going to go out before day fourteen started. Ken had agreed that he'd meet Yolei here but she didn't turn up. The group were playing darts while they waited for day fourteen to start, all of them unaware of the time. Wizardmon was also with them but was sitting at a table by himself. He'd agreed with Axel that they'd meet up when day fourteen started. Catherine threw a dart at the board and missed. She had the groups in hysterics, she didn't want to play it but Lucas forced her to play it.
"Why do I suck so badly at this, I haven't got a single point doing this!" Catherine cried out. She hadn't scored any points at darts. Lucas then started to laugh at her, it wasn't the cute type of laughing, rather the bully kind of laughing.
"Man you're such an idiot." Lucas said as he stepped up to the line. Catherine looked at him upset. He'd been horrible to her all night she was feeling depressed because of the way Lucas had been with her. It wasn't just tonight either he'd been horrible to her when the others hadn't been around her.
"I can't take this anymore, it's over Lucas. You've been horrible to me for so long, I thought we could make it work but we can't! I'm sick of you treating me like garbage. It's not fair, I want to be in a relationship where I can share the happiness not one where I can't have any. It's over..." Catherine cried out again. She then ran over to the table where Wizardmon was sitting, he was reading a random magazine this one was about the economy. The others all looked at Lucas, anger in their eyes.
"Ah well at least we can play a man's game now. No need for a girl who belongs in the kitchen. I me-..." Before Lucas could finish his very stereotypical taunt he felt someone's fist hit his face.
"That's not cool dude, I have a girlfriend, we both work jobs. What's wrong with a woman working?" Ian asked as Lucas pulled himself up.
"What does your girlfriend do? Work in a kitchen?" Lucas asked in a taunting manner as he stood up.
"Lucas what the heck is up with you, I've never seen you like this before." Ken said as he walked over toward Lucas.
"You've never had to live with Catherine. She's a slave driver around the house. I mean I know she's the person earning the money but still talk about bitchy much." Lucas said, there was an arrogance to his voice.
"You're a freak, I bet you didn't expect to hear that." Cody said. Ian, Ken and Cody then went and sat next to Catherine. Wizardmon had tried his best to cheer her up but in the end it hadn't worked out well. Tears were dripping from her eyes.
"Can you guys cheer her up? I'm no good at the romance stuff. I just waste my time." Wizardmon said to the others. He then opened his magazine and continued to read it.
"Catherine what did he do to you?"Ian asked. The three men were generally concerned about her. She may have been one of their enemies in the past but now she was one of their closest allies.
"He used to try and force me to do that thing that every couple who are truly in love do. Slowly he got more aggressive. One day I came home from work and he has had a house party and ruined my house. The first thing he told me to do was make him a sandwich. It was just unfair." Catherine told them before she fell into more tears. The three of them were trying their best to cheer her up but they weren't sure how they would. Wizardmon looked up at them.
"I'm going to go and use the toilet, I'll be back in a minute." Wizardmon said as he got up and walked away.
"Catherine you should've told one of us, why didn't you?" Ken asked. Ian, Ken and Cody looked at each other worriedly.
"He is related to a man who hunted all of you. He told me that he was going to give away your locations if I didn't stay with him. You're all too important to me." Catherine informed them. Ian walked over to the bar to order some more drinks.
"Don't worry we can stop him from doing that to you. We're your friends. Trust us." Cody said with a reassuring smile. Catherine looked up and smiled at them both, the tears still dripped down her face. Catherine then looked away for a moment.
"Maybe one day I'll find a boy who will make me happy just by being there for me, someone who would support me every day. Someone who I can tell my darkest fears to and he'll always reassure me someone who will protect me." Catherine said out with a smile on her face, she wasn't happy, but she was happier thinking about her dream boyfriend.
"Can I have everybody's attention!" A voice shouted. Everyone looked towards the area where the voice had come from. Lucas was standing on top one of the tables in the bar.
"What do you want?" A voice shouted out at him. He then pulled out a little device from his pocket.
"If anyone moves I'm going to blow this place back to the Stone Age. Now in twenty four hours the world is going to be infested with Digimon and these will dark Digimon named Devimon. They are strong alone but together they are amazing. But remember if any of you move you trigger this place to blow up. No one is allowed to take a step starting from now!" Lucas commanded to everyone in the bar. He sounded mental, his words didn't have proper breaks in between them so it sounded like some of the separate words were just longer. "Oh and Digi-Destined don't expect your Digimon to help anytime soon because they've been locked outside!" Lucas taunted at everyone. The bars atmosphere tonight was being controlled by an insane Lucas.
T.K, Kari, Sora, Matt and all of their Digimon had just arrived back from the dark future. At the moment they were using Biyomon's ultimate form to travel back to their hometown. Of course they were unaware of what was happening at the moment with all of their friends. They were unaware that there were four separate battles going on. However they knew who their main enemy was. A once thought ally that had been manipulating them the whole time. T.K had Kari wrapped in his arms. She had fallen asleep on the way there.
"How long till we are back do you reckon Matt?" T.K asked. Matt looked back at him with a smile.
"We're almost there bro. Do you think we'll get enough time to sleep? Or do you think it'll be straight to fighting?" Matt asked to his brother. Sora was also curled up around Matt asleep. She still couldn't move her legs. But Matt had a plan in his head about what he was going to do.
"Nah I think it'll be straight to fighting. I think Wire wants us dead as soon as possible, so attacking us in our sleep would be the best time to do it." T.K explained as he looked down. He saw they were on the outskirts of the town. There were four things fighting down there. One of them was firing fire, that could've only been Agumon.
"What's up T.K?" Matt asked as he looked over at his brother.
"I don't know but I think they need help, Matt ensure Kari is safe. I'm trusting her in your care. Remember to tell her that I love her." T.K said to Matt. Matt smiled and gave a reassuring thumbs up.
"Don't worry bro, she'll be fine. I'll make sure of it." Matt said. T.K looked over at Patamon and nodded.
"Thank you Yamato, Patamon Digivolve now!" T.K instructed as he jumped off of Garudamon. Patamon quickly Digivolved and flew down as Angemon. Half way in the air Angemon caught T.K. They then proceeded to float down towards the fight between the people on the street. As they got closer they saw Tai, Agumon and Axel fighting Saint. It looks like T.K's prediction was correct.
"Hand of fate!" Angemon shouted as he launched an attack at Saint. Saint got hit in the back and fell to the ground. Moments later he pulled himself up and turned around. Angemon let T.K go so that he could land onto the ground.
"So I get a third one to challenge? I thought I was only supposed to dispose of two. Oh well more fun for me." Saint insanely said to himself as he ran over to T.K. Tai then looked down at Agumon.
"You can now warp Digivolve, then we can take Saint out once and for all." Tai quickly said. Agumon nodded and started the process of warp Digivolving. Saint was now fighting Angemon with melee weapons. From the looks of it, it looked like he was trying to destroy Angemon's staff.
"I wonder how everyone is... Huh I got a text message from Ian. It says that Lucas has betrayed us and now is holding them hostage at the bar and he's put a smiley at the end of the text. After we beat Saint we should head straight there." Axel suggested as he looked at his phone.
"That makes sense I guess but let's worry about the problem in hand." Tai told Axel. Axel nodded. Saint and Angemon were still in fighting each other. WarGreymon ran up to Saint but went flying back into a building. Saint and Angemon were starting to use long range weapons, WarGreymon had been stuck in the cross fire.
"Wait he sent the strongest type of Digimon flying into a wall. How is he so powerful?" Axel asked as he pulled out his gun.
"I don't know, maybe Wire has powered him up or something!" T.K shouted over to Axel and Tai. Axel then stepped in front of the group.
"Tell your Digimon to run, call me insane but I think that the three of us are beat, even with your Digimon. Get Angemon and WarGreymon to safety and find the others. I'll create a diversion." Commanded Axel as he ran forward, determination was in his eyes.
"Axel don't we should stick to-..." Before T.K could finish his sentence Axel shouted something back.
"Don't argue with me! Find the others! Stop the fake Wizardmon!" Axel shouted at them. Both Angemon and WarGreymon flew towards their partners they then grabbed them and flew off. Saint looked back confused, he saw Axel standing there. Axel looked straight back at him.
"Where did you send the others?" Saint asked as he slowly walked towards Axel, Axel shrugged as if he didn't know where they went.
"I don't know, but hell where is the fun in knowing, think of it as a game of hide and seek. Just on a larger scale." Axel taunted. Axel then started to run down the street, he wished for his friends safety. He found a corner down the main road he could use. As he turned the corner he saw a building that was heavily protected by body guards. He ran up to one of the body guards after hiding his gun as not to cause any problems. The body guard was wearing a black suit with black shoes and a white shirt with a black tie wrapped around it. On their heads they wore sunglasses that hid their eyes from anyone seeing them.
"What's the problem sir?" The body guard asked. Axel quickly glanced back.
"Get everyone out of there quick, something is coming that would kill everyone in there." Axel informed him, Axel was out of breath from the large run he had done.
"Sir this is a political meeting venue for all the major parties from many different countries. We have everything under control." The security guard informed Axel. Just then a large crashing sound could be heard from behind Axel. Several of the leaders looked out the windows, some even came to the front door.
"What was that?" One of the leaders asked, he had quite a posh voice which sounded a bit like Axel's. Axel looked up to see it was the leader of the yellow party from Great Britain.
"Don't worry sir we have everything under control." One of the body guards said to him. Axel shook his head in disagreement. The leader of the political party looked over at Axel.
"So why is he disagreeing with you then? Ok I'll ask you then since you seem to be disagreeing with our body guards. What is happening?" The yellow leader said in a very serious tone. Axel looked back at him.
"This thing that has just landed is a robot thing. Bullets don't hurt him and even fire doesn't scorch him. Me and my friends were trying to stop him but I decided to create a diversion. Now I need all of you to get out of the building otherwise a whole world war could start." Axel said to the leader of the yellow party. Other leaders were standing there as well but Axel felt he could deliver the message more carefully to a leader from his home country. Several of the leaders started to leave the door way after what Axel said. The leader of the yellow party remained standing there though.
"Before I leave, what is your name and where do you come from? So I can inform the country of your heroism." The yellow leader asked Axel.
"I am Axel Barrage and I come from England but right now you need to get out of here. Now run for your life!" Axel told him. The leader of the yellow party then left. Axel turned around to see Saint standing there. He had two blades sticking out of his arms.
"You're are lucky that Wire doesn't want me to kill you. Rather just knock you out." Saint said in an annoyed tone. He walked over to Axel who had pulled out his gun and was now shooting him. None of the bullets made him flinch.
"What are you?" Axel asked as Saint walked closer. Saint smiled back at him.
"I'm Wire's only friend." Saint muttered, suddenly this green gas appeared around him. Axel accidently inhaled the gas and fell to the ground. Axel was now on the floor out for the count. Saint opened up a communicator that was on his wrist. After a pressing a button he waited a couple of minutes. Soon a human sized metallic ball landed in front of him. "Prepare for your worst nightmare Axel..." Saint said as he lifted Axel's corpse into the metal ball. Soon it flew away with Axel inside. Where he was going was unknown but one thing was certain. It wasn't somewhere nice.
Izzy, Mimi and Joe had recently been attacked by Hunter, they were still fighting in the apartment. Their Digimon had all lost energy because of special bullets Hunter fired. However this didn't stop the trio, the apartment had become a wreak. Furniture had been thrown around and in most cases destroyed.
"I would've thought you stupid destined would've given up by now!" Hunter shouted at them. He ran at Joe who avoided him, Hunter soon found himself face first in the wall.
"Look we never give up. So really you are wasting your time." Izzy sarcastically said. Hunter looked back at him with evils. Soon he was running at Izzy. Izzy rolled out of the way and then punched him in the back.
"I would've thought someone of your rank would've been stronger." Mimi taunted at Hunter as he pulled himself up from the ground.
"I need reinforcements!" Hunter shouted out. Just as he said it as if on cue the door opened. However it wasn't Hunter's allies it was Matt, Sora and Kari. Sora was still in Matt's arms. Kari had woken up on the trip back.
"What happened here?" Matt asked as they walked in.
"We've got a idiot in our presence." Izzy informed them. Matt then looked to see Hunter in the middle of the room.
"Oh yeah you won't have your allies appear because well we decided to get rid of them before they could cause anymore problems." Kari cheerfully said. Gatomon looked up at Kari and smiled.
"Oh yeah where's the jerk?" Hunter asked as he looked over at Kari.
"I don't know any jerks. I know my husband and hang on what happened about your electricity?" Kari asked as she suddenly noticed he hadn't fired anything at them yet.
"Wire took it away from me. However I don't need it to take out you idiots!" Hunter said quickly, he sounded like he'd gone insane. He hadn't noticed that Joe and Izzy had got cables from all over the apartment and were now right behind him.
"Hey Hunter you're an idiot." Matt taunted. Hunter didn't move within seconds Joe and Izzy had tied him up and had taken his communicator. Izzy opened it to see if it could give them any information.
"Sora what happened to your legs?" Joe asked as he ran over to her. He quickly ran into his room and pulled out his medical kit. While Joe was trying to help Sora with her leg problem Izzy and Matt were trying to find information out about the communicator.
"You'll never find out anything about Wire, before you and your friends have time you'll all be destroyed!" Hunter shouted out. Everyone ignored him. "The world is going to go into panic, even if you win you'll have lost!" Hunter taunted. Matt looked at him.
"Ok this guys annoying me, we have to get out of here before he calls for backup." Matt said. Izzy then threw Hunter's gadget against the wall. Everyone looked at him confused.
"Izzy? Why did you do that!" Mimi shouted at him. He then looked at the rest of the group.
"He has a tracker on him. He's already activated it so we need to get out of here as soon as possible. Knocking him out should buy us some time. Otherwise we'll be found by Wire's troops." Izzy told them all.
"Izzy I need your help, everyone else get to the hospital, they won't attack you there, Joe make sure everyone is ok." Matt commanded. Gabumon and Tentomon stayed with Matt and Izzy while all the others left. Matt then threw a sucker punch at Hunter and knocked him out.
"That'll hopefully stop the sensor from working. We need to lock him somewhere that he won't be able to escape. That'll mean he won't be able to chase us." Izzy told Matt. Matt then looked at the door in front of them.
"Maybe we could move the bookcase in the way of the door. That'll at least mean he won't be able to move out of there." Matt suggested. Izzy then gave him a weird look.
"Y'know usually I wouldn't agree on something like this, but he's annoyed me so it's a good idea." Izzy said to Yamato, the two of them then started to put Hunter and his chair into the room in front of them.
Lucas was standing in the middle of the nightclub. No one had moved. He was looking directly at Catherine, Ken, Cody and Ian. He then smirked a bit. He then proceeded to talk to them.
"You know Catherine I never actually loved you, I used you to try and get to Kari, I can see how that blew up in my face. Oh well at least I can still get her. She doesn't have to know about tonight!" Lucas shouted out as he proceeded to taunt the group. Just as he finished he heard a door creek from behind him. He turned around to see Wizardmon standing there.
"Lucas you initiated the plan while I was in the bathroom? You know Wire would be annoyed if he knew." Wizardmon told him. The Digi-Destined from then knew that Wizardmon was now their enemy as well.
"Look Wizardmon if I can call you that, I just did it because the others were about leave. I feel sorry for Axel you know? Having a fake Wizardmon it's priceless. Well his face will be priceless when he finds out." Lucas sarcastically said.
"Whatever Lucas, Axel still kept secrets from me, he never seemed to give me full trust like the others did to their Digimon, it's kind of funny. It's almost as if he kn-..." Before Wizardmon could finish his sentence an electric bolt similar to the one he fired came out of one of the electronic machines and sent him flying into one of the walls.
"What was that?" Catherine whispered to the others. Lucas was looking around frantically to find who fired the bolt.
"I think that Wizardmon just got bitched." Ian whispered out to the others in a jokey tone. Catherine laughed a tiny bit, it wasn't loud enough for Lucas to hear.
"I know who it was." Cody told all of them, they all looked back at him confused. Cody would've usually told them.
"Cody what are you not telling us?" Ken asked. He was worried that Cody didn't trust him again. Cody gave back a pleasant smile.
"It's the ghost Wizardmon, the one who died protecting Kari and Gatomon, the real one. Why do you think Axel left early? He went for a walk so that Wire's Wizardmon copy didn't kill him." Cody informed them. Everyone looked back in awe.
"No way... So they've had a spy on our side all this time?" Ian ignorantly asked. Catherine then looked at Ian.
"Ian you're an idiot, Lucas did the exact same thing." Catherine told him. Just then the front door broke off of its hinges and landed on the ground, Catherine looked down and saw that the ground below had become disfigured and had lifted up towards the centre Catherine couldn't see anything above that because there was a dust cloud in the way. Lucas and the fake Wizardmon looked towards the broken entrance and saw a figure emerge from the dust.
